happy [blog] anniversary to me

It dawned on me this morning that I started my blog when bored, last year at this time, while my husband had his college roommate over for the weekend.

Wow. A whole year of me.  and I still have people reading.
Thanks.

more ramblings about page design…

So, I found the perfect theme, that black-background one which displayed photos so nicely….except for one problem.  The text was impossibly small.  After much searching, I figured out how to change the text to a larger font (thank you time spent learning html in the 1990s), only to find that I would need to pay [...]

thanks for the feedback and more new things…

Thanks for the feedback Tracy and Burstmode, I totally agreed and I changed it already: it was very brown.  And you’re right, there are not a lot of themes that do well with photographs, and I may end up with one of the mostly black or mostly white backgrounds eventually.  In fact, probably.
I tried to [...]

i’m only human…

…how can you pass up the cub scouts with their little sign advertising their car wash at a local business.  They’re cub scouts!  They’re little, they’re goofy, and they want to try to wash your car so they can go on fun camping trips.  Granted, their parents will be doing most of the work, but [...]

There’s a bend in the road where a cell phone tower portrudes up above a tree [...]

nablopomo: routine: part i & ii

I think after 184 consecutive days of using my camera, I can officially claim two routines:
1. my 365 days self-portrait photo log
2. my project 365 photo log of any old thing that strikes my fancy.
Yep, I thinkg 184 days counts as routine, I mean it’s no shower and tooth-brushing, but it’s a good start.
